-
i'm feeling quite a bit of pain coming from the biceps due to last wednesday workout in the gym. well actually i'm only starting out. do i wait till the strain is gone before going to the gym? how do i get rid of the awful strain? thanks.

If it is so painful that affect your range of motion,then rest one more day
-
yea my elbow now bent at a slight angle. if i straighten it i can feel the strain in my biceps.
-
straighten it to stretch your biceps a bit... You need to rest more... You must have worked out hard...
It may be lactic acid; I'm not sure... -
erm, if u find it painful, u can also try to reduce the amt of exercise, and slowly train up
-
it isn't so pain if i was walking around. but if i sit on my desk using my computer too much, i find it excruciating for my arms when i stand up for a walk whereby my arms inherently straighten itself. ouch. lol. will check on my workouts next time, thanks guys.

If it hurts alot from simply straightening out your arms, it sounds like you might have overtrained a bit. I experienced that too, before - rest a bit more and you should be fine, I think.Originally posted by newcomer:i'm feeling quite a bit of pain coming from the biceps due to last wednesday workout in the gym. well actually i'm only starting out. do i wait till the strain is gone before going to the gym? how do i get rid of the awful strain? thanks.
As others have said, always err on the side of caution, yeah? -
normally if you do quite alot of bicep curls, your arm neutral position become slightly bend when relaxed, this is normal.
Cuz building up of lactic acid.
But if it is very painful, it could be a minor muscle tear, that means it will take 1-2 months to recover liao.
Anyway, you should not do too heavy weights when starting, should ramp up slowly through 1-2 months. -
IF you are starting out this is normal, soon you will be complaning why your body doesnt ache so much or NONE at all
Were you doing the negative* part of exercises in a controlled fashion that day?It could be one of the reasons.
Remember that it is the quality of the reps that counts not the quantity.
*Negative or eccentric for e.g in bicep curls is the part where you lower the weight down.It HELPS btw. -
ask someone to massage for u

i didn't swing the weights up and down to gain momentum if that's wat u mean.
now i'm planning to go on a nutrition diet. like what kind of food are richest in protein and that.Originally posted by Simon Dean:IF you are starting out this is normal, soon you will be complaning why your body doesnt ache so much or NONE at all

That was not what i meantOriginally posted by newcomer:i didn't swing the weights up and down to gain momentum if that's wat u mean.
I mean did you LOWER the weight in a CONTROLLED fashion or just let it drop. -
